Strike hardest

"If an inquiry has to be done to a man it should be so sever that his vengence need not be feared."

This is very much applicable in wary. If you'll damage a country's threshold, better do it at your best because if not, you may lose in the end. During the times of the world wars, we have seen countries be defeated or be at the top of everything else.

For instance, if Country A has the advantage of being the first to hit with nuclear weapons, the opponent may be weakened that moment but surely it will transform into something stronger. You see, having to suffer enough may lead to perfection on how to deal with events, in this case - war. In the event Country B survived the first hit, it can penetrate its society and be armed for the next explosion.

So, word of advice for the countries who wished to be on top, they should be the first and at the same time, be sure that vengeance would never be an option for the weaker one. In moments of glory, there comes an end if the machineries used are not strong enough. Better be safe and sure than just hit and hit.
